The best way to do this is to store the content on the tablets and trigger them remotely. Even if you get a video over wireless IP to work reliably, it probably won’t as soon as your audience turns up and swaps your wifi with signals.

I just used MultiVid for exactly this. It's a little touchy on connection and video type, but it worked to put a face in a crystal ball on stage and have it synced to audio playback.

I use TouchViz.

In combination with locking the ipad with guided access it gives a really good video player with full OSC remote control over the network.

The only problem is it has a control bar permanently on the screen. I just cover it in tape.

Mikel,
